Dan Wilson (Semisonic, Adele) / KT Tunstall

Hey folks. Here’s something to brighten your January I hope! I’m really excited to share this episode, the first of Series 3. Dan Wilson is the frontman of Semisonic (“Closing Time”, “Secret Smile”) but he’s also a brilliant songwriting collaborator. He’s worked with on some songs you may know by Adele (“Someone Like You”), Taylor Swift (“Treacherous”), and Dixie Chicks (“Not Ready To Make Nice”) amongst many others. Dan is genuinely one of my favourite guests I’ve had on the show. He was so engaged, and had a lot to say about being an artist, and was so generous with his time. We really had a fun time recording this. I hope you enjoy it. Dan was also kind enough to share a demo of a Semisonic song! So stay tuned to hear that at the very end of the episode. As if that wasn’t enough, my other guest is KT Tunstall. She’s about to release an expanded reissue of her second album “Drastic Fantastic” and talks very candidly about the difficult experience she had making the record. Funnily enough, she’s also worked with Dan Wilson, so it was a great chance to hear the perspective of one of Dan’s collaborators. As I mention in the show, my debut solo album “Meet You By The Photobooth” is out on January 15th 2020, under my name Matt Royal. I would be honoured if you’d check it out. It will be on all the major streaming platforms. Find me on Twitter @signalspodcastFind me on Instagram @sendingsignalspodcast
